anyone go through the 2 to 1 nap transition

So I started going through the 2 to 1 nap transition last month (about 5 weeks ago) because my little guy just kept on fighting his second nap EVEN when I capped his second nap. It was rough....so I just dove into changing his schedule. I'm finally doing this, but wondering if anyone thinks that I should push his morning wake time later to even out his wake times at all...

7:30am wake up12pm - 1:45/2pm nap715 - 7:30pm bedtime

STTN...sleep trained at 4.5 months old so he is all good there. Just doubting his schedule and that long wake time at the end of the day. Anyone????

Our little one wakes up at 6. Naps from 11:30-1:30, and bedtime at 8 PM sharp. He sleeps through the night. Some nights are a little rough. He can get cranky towards bedtime, but having one nap during the day is the only way he will go to sleep by 8. Otherwise he stays up until 10 and doesn't get enough sleep. I envy you that your little one gets 12 hours of sleep every night! Mine won't sleep longer than 10 hours, and then he's ready for the day to begin.

Trying g that same schedule here...I can do it and my sister (who watches love three times a week ) can do it....he gets cranky and tired around 1030 ( normal nap time) so dh (dear husband) and mil (mother-in-law) will put him down at that time. I let him go as long as he wants for these early naps because most likely he won't go down again. But today he slept for an hour the first time...I put him down at two and he did to fall asleep until three and only slept for another half hour but it was all he need to get through the rest of the day...

Here it's wake up at 7/7.30. Nap 11.45-14.00 (but could also turn into 14.45). And bedtime at 20.30, I know that's late but it works for us (to bed early is either fall asleep and be awake from 1-3 or cry and scream until we go to bed, even when cuddling, nothing is good enough).

We transitioned to one nap about 4 months ago. The same schedule. While transitioning there will still be some days that need two naps or some days needing an earlier bed time as they get used to their new schedule and wake times.

We transitioned our 16 month twins a couple of months ago and it took them a solid month or so to really settle. Right now, they generally wake around 6:30am and I leave them in their cribs until 7am. I have been putting them down at 12:15 for their nap and they are out by 12:30pm and nap until around 2:30pm - 3:00pm. Sometimes we get 3 hour naps but not every day and bedtime is between 7pm - 7:15pm. I still have some off days like yesterday one of them was up after sleeping 1.5 hours so on days like that where their nap was shorter, I put them to bed earlier (around 6:30pm). My boys are sensitive to wake times still so by the clock doesn't really work for us yet. I do love the 3 hour naps though as it gives me so much time to get work done and unwind a bit!
